Who VII try Hop Growing I?

A few days ago We heard an expert
enccd hop raiser express himself in sur
prise aud delight ut tho great extent auu
fertility Of the farm lands 10 Nss Perc.
'c"unty. DO you know" said he.
'that if such farms as are here were il,
the Puyallup valley they would sill
quick ut $3.50 per acre ?" 1t isa wrou.
idea that many people have that hops
will thrive only on a very sandy loam.
Land that will raise good wheat, oats OF
potatoes will raise good hops. Tho deep
rich loan found so .buudantly through
out this county is exactly suited to tn,
growing Of hops. There can be no oh
j'stions as regards climate, for they art
grown in Oregon, California and tn.
western and eastern ct ties.
The average yield per acre Of well
Gu tivated hops on good soil is about
1000 pounds. The average prize in
western Washington for tn. past tw,l t
years is twenty cents per pound. The
cost OF production is eight cents pound
This leaves margin Of twelve cents a
pound, aud On basis Of 1000 pound,
to the are gives a ne, profit of $40, or
M average yearly income from ten
acre field Of $4,000. This may seem
high to some, but we know from practi.
cal tests OF many men that these figures
are correct.
In the course Of time and when space
will permit, We will have more to saw
upon this subject, giving figures for
shipment and the natural increase of
land values 10 consequence of hip
